   3 Smart Snacking Tips

  • Choose lighter versions of your favorites -- baked chips instead of fried, or low-fat popcorn.

  • Buy 100-calorie packages of cookies and candy, and keep one in your bag to satisfy a sweet tooth.

  • Famished? Try something healthy first: Drink a glass of water and eat a piece of fruit. Then, if your tummy is still calling out for more, have a few chips or a piece of dark chocolate.
